The iPod Touch has a fixed focus lens. When you hold your finger on the screen (or tap it several times like in this video), you're changing the EXPOSURE of the picture, not the focus. Also, just pinching or separating two fingers zooms, like viewing any other picture. (If you don't believe me, just look up the tech specs of the iPT on apple's website).
Why are people so violent and hateful? Some of these responses are way out of line. People, take a pill or something to calm yourselves.
I been knew how to zoom in with the iOS 5.0.1 and the 4.0.1 version of the iPod touch 4th gen if you want to see a cracked screen check out my channel
Well I get the focus by triple tapping, but not the zoom... Except sometimes when I use the camera on the back of my iPod if I hold down two fingers for a while an then spread them apart like zooming in on a picture, then it actually gets the zoom thing, but the triple tap absolutely doesn't work for zooming
I have the white 4th Gen. the double tapping you talk about in the video brought up the blue square. In order to zoom in i had to use the double finger spread apart. like you would do on a web page to make it bigger. then my zoom bar showed up. hope this will help others who are having trouble with this feature. :)
Hi. I just got the new ipod 4th generation in white-- I tried this and the blue square popped up and nothing else. It worked on my friends BLACK ipod--so why wont it work on mine?
I have a new, ten days old, ipod touch and the camera does not have a zoom no matter what I do. When I first tried to zoom a box popped up and the letters AE locked.....what's up?
hey i'm planning on buying one to make a whole film because of the imovie app and how small it is. would it be worth doing so? also would you happen to know how much memory 30min of video takes up. i plan on getting the 64gb but should i just go for the ipad? sorry my english is not so good.
I'm about to buy the iPod Touch 4th Gen. I was wondering if it had a fixed focus lens. I want to record close up video shots and this video has helped me determine that it records well even without macro (the table top shot looks in focus even before you zoom in).
I found that if you use both of your thumbs simultaneously , it will bring up the zoom. Also using three fingers and tap twice, but I think some phones vary in sensitivity. Thanks Capt. Bill
Good video...thanks! I splurged on myself with my tax return and got the iPod Touch 4th gen, 64Gb...and I love it! cam & vid quality is surprisingly good. I could never see the sense in twirling a circular button with the thumb to find things...touch is where it's at!!!
This doesn't work for me! I've tapped once, twice, three times, yet the only thing that comes up is the little White box. I want to zoom in but there is no zoom bar. I've tried it both on the ordinary camera setting and the video one too. Please somebody tell me what's wrong?!
@MagicLittleSecrets Make sure to check that you are not in video mode and you are using the back facing camera. That is the only time it will give you the option to use digital zoom.
Hey dude thx I have the new iPod 4g and it's really fast and great aswell just tap once to zoom in oh I'm only 9 check out my channel plz ok that's me over and out!
Wrong! The iPod touch 4G does NOT have autofocus, what you see when you tap on the screen, and you see the white box, this is the brightness balance, and if you want the zoom bar, you tap it once.
Just got the iPod Touch 4G 32GB and lol was I disappointed because I didn't realise you had to triple-click to get focus/zoom features on the camera xDD
@dragoflames you can't zoom in with the front camera nor can u zoom while taking video. Although there is a app called video zoom at a low price. But there's is no solution to get the front facing camera to zoom. Video zoom 2 is free and the original video zoom is $8
hey, can u zoom in with the camera on the front, or while in video more ? or is mine just broken, i could only zoom in with the back camera, when taking photos.
i got it for christmas but my focus is not working my friend at school showed me his focus on iPhone 4 and it worked and we compared it and iPod focus did not work :(
it didn't work for me
